Microsoft, Google, AWS 등 주요 사업자가 AI 에이전트용으로 엔터프라이즈 데이터 연결 문제를 해결하려는 논의. Postgres, Snowflake, MongoDB, Gmail 등 여러 데이터 소스가 흩어져 있어 에이전트를 기존 툴을 이어붙이지 않고 통합하는 방법이 핵심 과제로 제기됨.

What if most transactions never needed retries at all? @FranckPachot shows how ’s single-document atomic updates eliminate deadlocks completely—even under high load.

SQL doesn’t run by magic. Your query travels through the network layer, gets parsed, optimized, executed, and finally hits storage with locks, buffers, and transactions managing every step. Knowing this makes you a faster, smarter analyst.

TIL #PostgreSQL 16 and above has a level above the SUPERUSER role: the “bootstrap superuser,” from whom you cannot revoke SUPERUSER privileges: postgresql.org/docs/18/glossar

And since internal components may still refer to it by name or expect it to be present, you can’t effectively rename it.

So if you create a #database cluster and decide to name that first user after the application for which you're originally using PostgreSQL, you’re stuck with that name for the life of the cluster. You may think you’re keeping things simple at the time, but you’re setting yourself (and others) up for confusion later.

Better to just initialize the cluster with the default superuser name of `postgres`, and then create an app-specific user with lower privileges.
